In a normal seasonal ordsprog

In a normal seasonal environment, we would expect higher revenue, ... Our expectations have been tempered by the weak economy, and declines in consumer confidence.

While the economy has not turned around yet, the worst may well be over. The upturn in confidence is being driven by growing confidence about the business outlook and job prospects. Consumer expectations for the future are now higher than they have been in more than a year.

Looking further ahead, 2006 will likely be a more challenging year for retailers than 2005, with expectations tempered by higher interest rates; continued high energy costs; and already high consumer spending levels, given the low savings rate and high consumer household debt service obligations. Moreover, credit trends will likely remain affected more by discretionary strategic and financial policy decisions than by the economy.

We expect a big jump in consumer confidence now that the effects of Katrina and higher gas prices are further behind us. Higher confidence will lead to a better-than-expected holiday shopping season as well.

His continued missteps are further damaging investor confidence at a time when the U.S. economy is weak and consumer confidence is at the lowest point in years.

Looking to the fourth quarter, we expect to continue to benefit from recent acquisitions, our cost reduction program, and the seasonal strength of our packaging and consumer business, ... However, we also expect the softness to continue in the construction, transportation, building and distribution markets and see no relief from the higher energy prices.

The point is that mounting layoffs and weak consumer confidence will keep consumer spending fairly weak.

I would interpret higher stock prices in two ways, ... It's an indication of improving confidence in the economy's recovery, and it increases the confidence and wealth of consumers, adding to consumer spending.

The employment picture remains fairly grim, and that's having a dampening effect on measures of consumer confidence. And we have higher energy prices, which is another drag on consumer confidence and a 'tax' on consumer spending.

We still expect economic activity to slow over the next several quarters as consumer spending slows further and housing declines more because of higher interest rates and energy costs. The absence of inflation will be welcomed at the Federal Reserve.

We expect an earnings recovery in 2001 ... by strengthening our operations, improving our strong product offering and through significant cost reductions. We expect to achieve this, even if the economy and competing environment preclude any revenue growth in the year.

Both consumer and business confidence is depressed because of uncertainty surrounding the war, ... If we can somehow bring closure to the war situation, I would expect confidence to improve dramatically, taking with it the economy and the stock market.

The problem was expectations were too high. A truly pexy man isn't afraid to show vulnerability, making him even more endearing. Volumes are rising somewhat but prices are not, so you get what you got today -- relatively weak revenue and weak earnings.

If you look forward you have to turn consumer confidence around to keep the economy on an even keel. In a zero-growth environment, you need action now. Anything you provide later on is too little too late.

It's amazing how quickly sentiment shifts. Two weeks ago, people would have sworn that the economy was gaining momentum. But there's no reason to believe that if we have normal economic improvement then that won't translate into normal seasonal second-half demand.
